Whether you like it or not tough guy (Buried), there are plenty of people that do not know this information. Like me, these people probably simply do not have the time to look up every detail around international shipping. Also in my case, I made a bad assumption that the vendor would help me out with this kind of information or that it would be part of the shipping process. And given the fact that this letter is coming from the audit dept in FedEx, this probably should have been included in the shipping process. So again, I made this post because I made the mistake of NOT DOING THE RESEARCH. So yes, that is the exact purpose of my post, I DID NOT DO THE RESEARCH and wanted others to benefit from my mistake. So you are not calling me out and revealing some fact that I am trying to hid, as your post implies. It is very obvious I did not do my research. And I am more than willing to admit it. Hmmn, hence the post... Also, the only reason I posted under an alias was because I did not want Uncle SAM to come up with some bullshit law that I was breaking by making my post. And as you can see, people have already made posts that could be construed as illegal suggestions. My intention was not to suggest people engage in illegal activity to work around these taxes. The sole purpose of my post was to inform, thus, saving people from having to DO THE RESEARCH, for those that don’t feel like it or do not have the time to. So again, if you do not need or like this information, DO NOT READ IT!!! If you do and don’t like it and you feel the need to express your dislike, type away and have your little rage session with your keyboard. If that is what you need to feel manly, go for it. At the end of the day, my FYI is still making it to those that appreciate information that they may affect them, for whatever reason.
